As part of iCIT’s ongoing efforts to implement and improve project managment, several members of NOC and OTEC recently began using time-tracking methods. Time-tracking is a tool that categorizes how employees spend their time on various projects throughout a work week. This provides benefits to both the individuals and the managers in these departments. Those who use time-tracking are able to discover how their time is being used on projects and contribuitng to departmental goals. Time-tracking also enables managers to see how time and personnel resources are being allocated to projects. This allows them to make better decisions, set priorities and improve project planning.
